Sawstop's suit against Ryobi is upheld

I know of one attorney that has my respect. He mostly works with child custody suites and lets the client decide what he or she thinks his time was worth. He agrees to take as pay the amount that the client feels he can afford. He is not in a great financial situation as you can imagine but he stays busy.

Facts:

Organized crime members are historically some of the most charitable people on earth.

One attorney in a town will starve to death; two, and they both will flourish.

We put up with legal extortion because we allow the practitioners to make the laws.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how this addresses the question.

There ARE some (possible) remedies. My state recently passed a "loser pays" law, hoping to curtail frivolous lawsuits. We'll see.

My state passed a personal injury reform package a few years back. Medical malpractice insurance rates have dropped by almost 50% and doctors are flocking to the area. So tweaks to the law sometimes work well.

Tennessee? Those "reforms" are good things IMO.

Texas.

OK, that sounds progressive

Oh, because it's Texas it's not good. Gotcha.

No, that's not it. I wanted to express that in some areas you and I do agree, and I consider myself liberal/progressive. But indeed, in some respects Texas isn't really progressive; we could leave that discussion for another time.

I certainly don't consider restricting torts to be on the "progressive's" platform. In fact, I've never heard *one* in congress demanding limitations on ambulance chasers. It's more of a conservative thing, but it's good to know you can lean right, too. ;-)

That's because it isn't. Texas is conservative; blood-red.

So I was right, you've had a lawsuit go against you and are playing the blame game.

Well,at least we agree on more than 1 thing. Let's keep going!

No he actually had the law suite go for him but it cost him and others a small fortune to win. Damn ambulance chasers!

Same thing. That's winning the battle but losing the war.

LOL!

Um, it's dark?

Outside, sort of (there are many streetlights here). Inside, not dark. We have power and it's only 10 PM.

Oh, I forgot. You don't live in civilization. ;-)

...by the light of the silvery screen.

I'd like to see "plaintiff pays", with a provision that if the suit succeeds then the damages should include sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for those costs.
